Many seas in the world are productive but limited to a few pelagic species, highly influenced by environmental conditions. This dependency makes necessary to develop solutions in order to promote wealth and biodiversity in productive regions. One of the recommended solutions to enrich the seas is the implantation of artificial reefs. These reefs mimic the environment and do not alter the preexistent equilibrium. Current studies about artificial reefs have focused on experimental observations. An alternative to these experimental analyses is CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). The main advantage of numerical simulations is that these provide much more information at a lower cost and less time. In this regard, this paper presents a numerical simulation of an artificial reef in order to analyze the most relevant hydrodynamic characteristics.
